[0030] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it designate a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, provides a connection structure, including a connection unit 100 , the connection unit 100 includes a cover ring 101 , a main shaft 102 , a volute spring 103 and an elastic component 104 .

[0033] Preferably, the connecting unit 100 includes a cover ring 101, a main shaft 102, a spiral spring 103 and an elastic component 104. The cover ring 101 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 102. The spiral spring 103 is arranged on the main shaft 102. The spiral spring 103 is the existing technology. The spiral spring 103 facilitates the reset of the main shaft 102 after rotation. The elastic component 104 is arranged on the main shaft 102.

[0034] During use, the cover ring 101 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 102. When the elastic component 104 is heated, the thermal expansion material set therein pushes the elastic component 104 to expand and contract, and causes the main shaft 102 to deflect. When the thermal expansion material contracts, the spiral spring 103 set on the main shaft 102 resets the main shaft 102.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, it further includes a cover ring 101 including a rotation through-limiting groove 101a, a groove 101b, a first limiting ring 101c and a ring platform 101d. The groove 101b is arranged on the top side of the cover ring 101, and the through-limiting groove 101a is symmetrically arranged on the side of the groove 101b. The connector 102b moves in the through-limiting groove 101a, the first limiting ring 101c is arranged on the other side of the cover ring 101, and the ring platform 101d is arranged on the opposite side of the groove 101b. The elastic component 104 rotates in the limiting space constituted by the first limiting ring 101c and the ring platform 101d, and the spiral spring 103 is arranged in the groove 101b.

[0037] Preferably, the main shaft 102 includes an inclined hole 102a, a connector 102b and a conical receiving cavity 102c. The connector 102b is arranged at one end of the main shaft 102, and the connector 102b is connected to the guide plate in the jumper housing. The conical receiving cavity 102c is arranged at the other end of the main shaft 102. The conical receiving cavity 102c is used to accommodate the jumper wire. The inclined hole 102a is arranged on the side of the main shaft 102 close to the connector 102b. The inclined holes 102a are symmetrically arranged. The arrangement of the inclined hole 102a makes it easier for the main shaft 102 to deflect when the elastic component 104 is extended or retracted.

[0038] Preferably, the elastic component 104 includes an elastic member 104a, a barrel body 104b and a telescopic head 104c, one end of the elastic member 104a is arranged in the inclined hole 102a, and the other end of the elastic member 104a is arranged on the barrel body 104b, and the telescopic head 104c is arranged in the barrel body 104b. A thermal expansion material is also arranged in the barrel body 104b, and the heat generated by the material when the current increases is used to drive the mechanical components to move. An elastic member is arranged on the telescopic head 104c to facilitate the retraction of the telescopic head 104c after the thermal expansion material cools down.

[0039] Furthermore, a limit block 104b-1 is provided at one end of the barrel body 104b, and the limit block 104b-1 can conduct heat. A connecting hole 104b-2 is provided at the other end of the barrel body 104b, and the telescopic head 104c partially extends out of the barrel body 104b through the connecting hole 104b-2.

[0040] Preferably, the cover ring 101 further includes an arcuate ridge 101e and an arcuate groove 101f. The arcuate ridge 101e is arranged on the inner wall of the cover ring 101 and is located in the limiting space formed by the first limiting ring 101c and the ring platform 101d. The arcuate ridge 101e is movably connected to the telescopic head 104c.

[0041] Furthermore, the arc-shaped ridge 101e includes a convex portion 101e-1 and concave portions 101e-2 arranged on both sides. The arc-shaped ridge 101e is symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the cover ring 101. The length of the convex portion 101e-1 extending out of the side wall is greater than that of the concave portion 101e-2. The arc-shaped ridge 101e has a certain length.

[0042] Furthermore, the arc-shaped groove 101f includes a convex shaft 101f-1, the convex shaft 101f-1 is arranged in the arc-shaped groove 101f, the arc-shaped groove 101f is arranged perpendicular to the arc-shaped convex strips 101e, and the arc-shaped groove 101f is arranged between the symmetrically arranged arc-shaped convex strips 101e.

[0043] During use, the cover ring 101 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 102, and a thermal expansion material is arranged in the barrel body 104b. The heat generated when the current increases drives the telescopic head 104c to extend outward, and the telescopic head 104c deflects from the convex part 101e-1 to the concave part 101e-2 on the arc-shaped ridge 101e protruding in the middle until the telescopic head 104c falls into the arc-shaped groove 101f and contacts the convex shaft 101f-1, thereby quickly disconnecting the device. At this time, the rotation of the main shaft 102 drives the connecting heads 102b symmetrically arranged on both sides of the groove 101b to rotate. When the temperature of the thermal expansion material drops, the volute spring 103 resets the telescopic head 104c from the arc-shaped groove 101f and connects to the arc-shaped ridge 101e.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 9 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which further provides a jumper device. The jumper device includes a jumper 200, in which the connection unit 100 is disposed. The jumper 200 includes a first housing 201, a second housing 202, a sealing frame 203, and a guide plate 204. The sealing frame 203 is disposed between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202. The first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are connected by the guide plate 204.

[0046] Preferably, the first shell 201 includes a connecting ring groove 201a and a second limiting ring 201b, the connecting ring groove 201a is arranged on the inner top wall of the first shell 201, the connecting head 102b is slidingly connected to the connecting ring groove 201a, and a guide plate is arranged in the connecting ring groove 201a. When the volute spring 103 is reset, the connecting head 102b contacts the connecting ring groove 201a, and after the main shaft 102 rotates, the connecting head 102b is disengaged from the guide plate, and the second limiting ring 201b is arranged on the bottom side of the first shell 201, and the main shaft 102 is arranged in the first shell 201.

[0047] When in use, the main shaft 102 is set in the first shell 201, the cover ring 101 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 102, and a thermal expansion material is set in the barrel 104b. When the current increases, the heat generated drives the telescopic head 104c to extend outward. The telescopic head 104c deflects from the convex part 101e-1 to the concave part 101e-2 on the arc-shaped convex strip 101e in the middle until the telescopic head 104c falls into the arc groove 101f and contacts the convex shaft 101f-1, thereby quickly disconnecting the device. The rotation of the main shaft 102 drives the connectors 102b symmetrically arranged on both sides of the groove 101b to rotate. The arc-shaped ridges 101e have a certain length. The jumper can operate normally within a certain range of the heat of the thermal expansion material. Only when the device overheats, the main shaft 102 rotates to disengage the connector 102b from the guide plate, thereby quickly disconnecting the jumper. When the temperature of the thermal expansion material drops, the spiral spring 103 resets the expansion head 104c from the arc-shaped groove 101f and connects to the arc-shaped ridge 101e.
